Body Already Knows

Verse

Sixteen on the clock but my hips still know

The tempo from last night won't let me go

Skirt swinging low like it's got a mind of its own

Your hand finds mine in the dark and I don't ask why

Bassline pulls us closer than good sense can try

We ain't leaving till the whole sky turns red

So forget what time, forget who we're supposed to be

The beat won't let us leave, no way

I don't need a reason when the drums decide

Skin remembers before my mind does arrive

This floor don't sleep and neither do I

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through your feet?

The night's got legs that keep on moving in the street

Hold up, hold up, watch how the dark turns bright

Something's pulling us closer to the light

Chorus

Body already knows, body already knows

Even when my mind forgets what we came for

Skin don't lie and neither do our feet

When the lights come up this floor just keeps repeating

What we danced before we knew why

Lagos never asks me if I'm ready tonight

Sun's coming but my hips won't say goodbye

Body already knows, body already knows

Verse

Neon bleeding soft into the gold of dawn

Still got last night's perfume on your collarbone

Sweat gone cold but we don't rush out the door

Something's got us stuck on this dance floor once more

Chairs stacked high and the speakers breathe slow

Everybody's moving like they're chasing something still unknown

Maybe it's just you, maybe it's just me, maybe it's both

Lagos nights never let go of what we brought

So I'm dancing in my heels with the whole street gone quiet

But my hips remember how to stay in time

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through your feet?

The night's got legs that keep on moving in the street

Hold up, hold up, watch how the dark turns bright

Something's pulling us closer to the light

Chorus

Body already knows, body already knows

Even when my mind forgets what we came for

Skin don't lie and neither do our feet

When the lights come up this floor just keeps repeating

What we danced before we knew why

Lagos never asks me if I'm ready tonight

Sun's coming but my hips won't say goodbye

Body already knows, body already knows

Bridge

Maybe the night don't end at six a.m.

Maybe it just shifts to something new again

I didn't ask for this but my ribs already know

So let the sun come up, I'm not letting go

Every hour got a rhythm, every hour's got a name

And mine right now is you, and me, and this same old floor again

Chorus

Body already knows, body already knows

Even when my mind forgets what we came for

Skin don't lie and neither do our feet

When the lights come up this floor just keeps repeating

What we danced before we knew why

Lagos never asks me if I'm ready tonight

Sun's coming but my hips won't say goodbye

Body already knows, body already knows
